Following is a response from DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:
We apologize for the delay in this reply. You seem to be correct that there is a much wider range of ages for household respondents than there should be. I used a different strategy,. I opened the 2017 PR file, and then entered the following lines:
keep if hvidx==hv003
keep hv001 hv002 hv104 hv105
rename hv104 respondent_sex
rename hv105 respondent_age
tab respondent_age respondent_sex
sort hv001 hv002
This gives a file that can be merged back with the PR file. I get a few household respondents below age 15, which I would not have expected. There are other ways to do this, with the HR file (as you say) as well as with the PR file.
